Name: The Mizo-Takuro Age: Unknown Sex: N/A Profession: N/A Location: Ocean Affiliations: Ocean Disposition: Demonic, aggressive, destructive Character Background and Description The Mizo-Takuro is the name given to a malevolent demon of the sea which takes the form of a ship. The ship is described as having a black hull with a horrifying demonic face on the front. The ship travels quickly even without wind, and emits huge clouds of smoke from its sails which are permanently on fire. Some believe that the ship is the result of the vengeful spirits of pirates, who died in a fire aboard a ship and collectively possess it after their deaths.
The billowing clouds of smoke are usually seen on the horizon before the ship even comes into view. Traders, smugglers, and pirates alike have learned to run when they see the smoke, and it is a common belief that seeing the ship means that you have been at sea too long and need to make port. Other accounts state that the ship will appear when a man falls overboard, and the face on the front of the ship eats those who are lost at sea. This is supported by reports of the ship appearing following a naval battle between two nations, hungry to eat the crew members who are left floating in the water.
Most of the stories about the ship come from pirates who spend much of their time at sea. Yet with the increasing frequency of sea battles, sailors in the navy are reporting that they've seen The Mizo-Takuro as well. The current consensus among sea captains is to run immediately as soon as they see it, leading to strange cases of pirates giving up their prey and naval battles ending in a stalemate.
